    4th they also qualify even if they don't win final

    Unfortunately that's not correct. As Swansea are Welsh they cannot qualify for Europe via the English league, so I presume it is the same for the English League Cup. I therefore wondered whether this means that the winner of Villa and Bradford automatically will qualify for the Europa League (providing Chelsea finish in the top 4 and Swansea remain Welsh), but after checking it out, apparently if the League Cup winners don't qualify for the Europa League for whatever reason the 6th place team in the Premiership qualify. Only the FA Cup runners up benefit in that way.

    Then don't tell them otherwise and let them keep their dreams for a bit longer!

    Wrong, Swansea are affiliated to the English F.A so they qualify for Europe if they win.

    Sorry, I got hold of the wrong end of the stick with Welsh clubs in the English league system. they can qualify for Europe apparently, providing they don't enter the Welsh Cup.

    Millwall, Birmingham, Bolton & Pompey all played recently in the Europa League. I hold out hope for us that in my lifetime l see us playing an Europa League fixture in some third world country, we came close in 2008. The more the top clubs disrespect the League Cup, the more chance we have. Pity we are normally gash in that cup.
